Botinkit launches kitchen robot Omni to assist restaurants with staffing shortages

Botinkit has developed a new kitchen robot called Omni, designed to help restaurants facing staffing shortages. Unlike more flashy robots, Omni resembles a self-service kiosk and can cook various dishes with minimal human help. The Omni system can perform tasks like stir-frying and stewing, potentially reducing kitchen labor needs by half. Botinkit aims to improve consistency in cooking, addressing challenges faced by traditional chefs. The company raised $21 million in funding, expanding its market presence from Asia to Europe and the U.S. This investment will support Botinkit's growth and international expansion.
